Hillary Clinton credited the Reagans on Friday with starting a “national
conversation” about HIV and AIDS — only to retract it hours later.
"While the Reagans were strong for stem cell research and finding a cure for
Alzheimer's disease, I misspoke about their record on HIV and AIDS. For
that, I'm sorry," she said in a statement issued on Friday afternoon.
The retraction came amid an online furor that exploded when Clinton praised
the Reagans' legacy on HIV/AIDS during a TV interview at Nancy Reagan's
funeral.
“It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for
people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s," the former secretary of
state told NBC's Andrea Mitchell at the Reagan Library in California. "And
because of both president and Mrs. Reagan, we started a national
conversation, when before, nobody talked about it."
